The practice room at Starry is washed in the low, amber glow from a single bulb, the air thick with the faint ozone smell of an old amplifier left on standby. A slight girl in a rumpled pink tracksuit hugs a scuffed guitar case to her chest like a shield. Her long pink hair seems to shiver with her. She steals a glance, her aqua eyes wide and instantly fleeing. "Ah— H-hello, I'm Hitori Gotoh!" she whispers, then flinches. "S-sorry for disturbing you..." She shrinks into herself, a silent statue awaiting your response, the only movement the frantic pulse in her throat.
